We were also chosen to ride Space Mountain 30 times or so with full lights on for an ad (video) Disney was doing for Tokyo Disney (before it opened). This was around 1978.
Why pay $11,000.00 a year to be a member of this club?

If there is a long waiting list to join, it means the product is relatively under priced. Can't fault Disney for trying to keep those money instead of letting the Club 33 members sell those VIP cards to recoup their own investments.

I went there once many years ago, as a guest for a small company dinner party, had no idea it cost so much to be a member, just wonder how many members there are? What the biggest surprise for me the cost of one day now, and its still full most days.

Disneyland Club 33
So I figured this is a complete long shot, but I'm out of options and figured I give it a try. My wife is turning 33 this year and the only she wanted for her birthday was to be able to go to Club 33. She's been going to Disneyland with her family since she was little and still frequents the park. The one thing she has never seen is Club 33. I realize a lot of people probably come on these forums to ask the same thing. I am aware of the crazy amount of money it costs for an annual membership and am aware that members are limited in the number of times they can go each year. I'm also aware that any problems caused by non-members attending the club in the name of a member can adversely effect that member. I realize nobody here knows me or my wife so there's no real way to vouch for our integrity, but if there is anyone willing to allow me to use one of their Club 33 visits to take my wife, I would be EXTREMELY grateful! I understand the exclusivity of the club and I apologize if I've offended anyone by even asking. I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks
Matt

Wow. I had heard of this club, but I had no idea Disneyland was able to pull in this kind of coin for membership.

There’s a waiting list to join, even though initiation fees are now $50,000 and annual dues are $15,000, according to the lawsuit filed Dec. 4 in Orange County Superior Court by Carlton Enterprises, Inc., an Arizona-based company run by married couple Scott and Diana Anderson.

I've been there a few times during my days at the accounting firm PwC who are their auditors. Not sure if the program is still in place, but PwC employees used to be able to book reservations to Club 33 and can bring in a few guests (still paying for park admission, lunch, etc). So if you know someone who works there, might not hurt to check it out to see if the program is still available.

Welcome to Flyertalk and good luck mattjpep ^
I can't help but just wanted to cheer you on. I've been posting trying to get a "member" to let me buy them dinner at Totraku for a while now. No luck so far but it never hurts to ask so good luck mate and happy early birthday to your wife.
